Duck glazed with Plum and Soy

A Chinese-inspired duck dish with both fruity and savoury elements needs a smooth, savoury red made from Pinot Noir or Italian varietals such as Barbera. We'd recommend the Devil's Corner Pinot Noir from Tasmania. Full recipe

Horizon de Bichot Pinot Noir 2016, Vin de France

0 review(s)

Take a renowned producer of exquisite Burgundy wines, let them loose in new territories, and what do you get? The Horizon de Bichot wines. Very smart French Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (sticking to their strengths) from the south-west of France. Not Burgundy, but every bit as spellbinding. As is the remarkably reasonable price

The Producer

The Bichot family settled in Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Burgundy in 1350. The family’s coat of arms has not changed since nor has its symbol, a doe, or biche in French. Their wine heritage goes back to 1831 with Bernard who was a wine trader. It was his son, Hippolyte, who brought the first vines in Volnay and grandson, Albert, who rooted the Bichot name in Beaune from which the family business grew. Since 1996 Bichot has been under Albéric Bichot who is completely focused on developing the future of the company without compromising family tradition or quality. Find out more

Tartiflette

The rich combination of potato, cheese, bacon and garlic could stop anyone in their tracks so pick ripe reds with good acidity or structured whites which will both cut through the delicious stodge! This dish is calling out for a French Pinot Noir. Full recipe

Coteaux Bourguignons 2015, Albert Bichot

0 review(s)

A delectable blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay - juicy, spicy and pleasing on the palate. Made by IWC 'Red Winemaker of the Year' Alain Serveau

Blackened Steak with Red Wine Jus

A simple rump steak calls for a medium to full-bodied red to square up to the dense structure of the meat. Head to reds with some oak ageing to give a touch of spice. Try Albert Bichot's Coteaux Bourguignons for starters, its structure holds up well to the steak. Full recipe

The Producer

With a history going back over 300 years, Maison Jean Loron knows a thing or two about the production of top Beaujolais. The house is now owned by the 8th generation of the Loron family, Xavier Barbet, who in 2016 handed over the day to day running of the business to Philippe Bardet. Today the house owns 120 hectares of vineyards across seven of the Beaujolais Cru as well as owning and working with growers in the Maconnais region of southern Burgundy.

Charcuterie Board

Cured meats match perfectly with light reds from Beaujolais with a hint of sweetness, with the fresh, juicy fruit in the wine contrasting with the smoked/salty flavours in the meats. Full recipe

Domaine de Cassagnau Pinot Noir 2016, Languedoc

1 review(s)

The Languedoc just might be the top candidate for giving its vignerons the most freedom in all of France. Sure, you'll find superb Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah red wines. But you'll also find grape varieties more usually associated with other regions. Like this exceptional value Pinot Noir. A top recommendation for you.

The Producer

Family-owned Domaine de Cassagnau is situated in the heart of the Languedoc region, due south of Carcasonne. The success of the estate has very much relied on the women of the family, with Berthe Abet in charge of the domaine for six decades and through two world wars. A doctor by profession, Jacques inherited the estate from his mother, Berthe's daughter Jacqueline, and continues the family business with wife Collette. Find out more

Chicken Paupiette filled with Sundried Tomato and Mushrooms

The multi-layered flavours of savoury mushroom, sweet, sun-dried tomato and rich aubergine and pepper calls for a bit of an all-rounder. A soft, easy-drinking red like our Domaine de Cassagnau Pinot Noir will cover all the required taste bases! Full recipe

The Producer

Founded by winemaking legend José Neiva Correia in 1998, DJF Vinhos is located in the Lisboa region which stretches north along the coast from the capital Lisbon. A simple philosophy with an ambitious aim: to transform the rich and diverse Portuguese varieties into top quality wines that are accessible to all. Quality and value for money are key, and the estate even buys in used oak barrels and employ two coopers to take them apart and strip them back to the new wood – as good as new for a fraction of the price. DJF is not short of fans, with more awards than any other Portuguese producer of the last 20 years, including red wine of the year at the IWC and twice Portuguese Winery of the Year in the New York Wine Competition since 2012.

Portuguese Salt Cod

The robust flavour of salt cod with spicy piri piri can stand up to a red wine such as a Pinot Noir. So there's no need to match this white fish with a white wine on this occasion - try the fruity, balanced Paxis with soft tannins to stand up to the rich fish and vibrant seasoning. Full recipe

Pinot

A pleasure to drink, a comforting alternative to rose even in this hot spell. Very delicate yet a touch of spice.
